started reading 'Aesthetics and Politics', a series of essays and debates by Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Bertolt Brecht and Georg LukΓ‘cs about art and culture during the World Wars. as fascism is on the rise, i've been reflecting on which artistic movements will be the 'champions' for fascism in the 21st century, and which movements will be vehemently against it. are we already at that point where we need to start thinking and writing about these things? or can we hope that the fascist tendencies in politics and tech are a disgusting blip in our contemporary history and it'll wash over with the next administrations? as a side note, i fear crypto art may be considered in retrospect as the face of fascism as it stands now.

Interesting. Will put this on the reading list. Curious how you define crypto art as the face of fascism? Most of the artist interact with including myself abhor fascism.

I forgot where I read it and it's not directly in relation to fascism but the ones who are vibing with it seem to have tyrannical tendencies... And someone somewhere wrote that tyrants in a sense understand the power of art the best. - which of course is very cynical. that's why the tyrant's "forbidden works" lists are things to study. Most Bauhaus and avant-garde artists at some point were on such lists here, I went to see an exhibit once of "entartete Kunst" and it was pretty interesting. Not what you'd think. Some of it very abstract art. Others more on the pretty side where you wonder, wtf? where is the dangerous thought this induces in me supposedly? -- I think it's never a bad moment to start thinking and talking about it. I mean the threat is real as far as I can tell, so there should be at least room to ponder. Also we're electing a new government here on Sunday and I am fairly sure that our right-wing party will do well.

Thanks for sharing, I will have a look at it. I do think that we are at that point, at least in some parts of the world. We know now that it is a recurring fight. It is better to prepare for it sooner.
